Add an interface to find the first device which is upstream of both
devices.
Please work with Logan and base this on top of the outstanding peer
to peer patchset.
Can you point me to that? The last code I could find about that was from
2015.
The latest posted series is here:

However, we've made some significant changes to the area that's similar
to what you are doing. You can find lasted un-posted here:
https://github.com/sbates130272/linux-p2pmem/tree/pci-p2p-v4-pre2
Specifically this function would be of interest to you:
https://github.com/sbates130272/linux-p2pmem/blob/0e9468ae2a5a5198513dd12990151e09105f0351/drivers/pci/p2pdma.c#L239
However, the difference between what we are doing is that we are
interested in the distance through the common upstream device and you
appear to be finding the actual common device.
Yeah, that looks very similar to what I picked up from the older
patches, going to read up on that after my vacation.
Just in general why are you interested in the "distance" of the devices?
And BTW: At least for writes that Peer 2 Peer transactions between
different root complexes work is actually more common than the other way
around.
So I'm a bit torn between using a blacklist or a whitelist. A whitelist
is certainly more conservative approach, but that could get a bit long.
Thanks,
Christian.
Thanks,
Logan
